Reyes comes from a very different zip code than Peter Parker, but his story is universal."

— Axel Alonso, Editor In Chief

“His vehicle of choice, the automobile, very clearly sets him apart visually. In comparison to his vengeance seeking predecessors, he’s very young and inexperienced in most aspects of life; but as a the product of a harsh inner city upbringing, Robbie’s street smarts, overall distrust for most people, and clear contempt for his violent surroundings make him the perfect host for a Spirit of Vengeance.”
